If you pay for your flights with a Platinum card in Australia you get automatic insurance. Check with your bank. My lady diagnosed with stress fracture in Lugo hospital. Three days in hospital and then business class flights and taxis back to our front door for both of us. So it works. Sad not...
Starting St Jean Saturday 20th April.
Arriving Madrid from Sydney 17th.Two nights in Pamplona to get over flight.
Taxi or bus to St Jean 19th.
Took bus last year but if anyone around wanting to share a taxi from Pamplona let me know.

Hopefully next April will not be so wet.
As for not getting wet I think that as I wore it over a fleece jacket , the fleece...
Thanks
However will purchase one at Caminoteca in Pamplona as I had such good service from them before. Apart from faulty poncho. Also it was cheaper than what I saw in St Jean. Staying in Pamplona to get over flight from Oz for a couple of nights!

Hi
I bought this poncho in April and it was fantastic. Had snow on Napoleon Way and five days of heavy rain and floods. Could not fault it at all. Walking companion had normal poncho with waterproof pouch for mobile phone. In Pamplona he had to replace expensive iPhone! Every time we stopped he...
